LONDON, Dec. 22.-The troubles between
hunters and farmers have again sprung up in
Ireland. Lovers OF the chase appear to think
that they have the right to jump anybody's
fences and tear across anybodys fields, since it
affords amusement to them, no matter how
much harm they cause by so doing. The farmer
is an unmannerly boor if he objects, and must
be reduced to terms at once. The farmers, or a
number of them in the counties of Meath and
Dublin, gave notice to-day that their lands
would be poisoned in order to prevent the hunt
ing nuisance This has enraged the horsemen.

CHAPTER XIII.

During the foregoing conversation
the young lady, whose suDlimity was sc
often referred to, ,'sat alone in her cham
ber. She took up the old scrap-boob
again, and commenced to read the
school-1naster: story where she had
left off.
1T was necessary to have the name
and age of each pupil on the roll.
When I wrote down the name of Rose
Mulvany, I turned to her to inquire
what was her age. hardly knew why,
but [ could not ask the question, and
put up the book without putting down
her age. The next got two or three
new scholars and when asking their
ages I took courage and said, And how
old are YOU Rose?' She looked up, and
smiling bashfully replied: i believe Pm

self look small among the other girls.
I remarked, too, that she always wore
ler cloak, for the purpose, asI guessed,
Of concealing her well-developed figure.
All this reserve, However, was thrown
aside when I was not present. How
often did I watch her from the window
during play hours, bounding like wild
fawn among the children. All the
children loved her; and it was SO in
teresting to see some little creature ex-
planning the lesson to poor Rose, who
would take her tiny instructress up in
her arms and kiss her as reward for
her trouble. But after few months
Rose Mulvany could read and write
pretty we'll, and, in fact. knew as much
as most girls Of her age and class.
Every day felt more and more inter
ested in her; but I was panied to observe
that she became more reserved, and
even appeared TO stand almost in awe
of me. She would check herself sud-
denly in the midst Of her widest glee
ON seeing me approach, and shake down
her tresses to hide her face. I used to
stand by sometimes and encourage the
boys and girls at their games in the play
ground; but the moment l appeared,
Rose would put on her cloak hastily and
steal away.
After awile I began to call at her
fathers house on Sunday evenings.
How glad the kind old couple were to
seemel And Rose, too, was less reserved
on these occasions than at school, but
she was still very timid. The thought

THE DAY SHE DIED.
BY LULAH RAGSDALE.

All as she leftit within her rooms
Her footstool here where she used it last;
Her chair drawn near to the plants in bloom
The time of flowers will soon be past.
Here is her work.box. and white ae milk
Her velvet cushion lies by its side;
And needle threaded with rose-hued silk
Just as she left it the day she died.
On the sofa there is the dress she wore,
Dainty the sheer soft muslin thing
1t suited her tender facs of yore
Because of its tints like the buds of spring,
A crumpled glove on her dressing case,
The print of fingers within it yet,
And about it lingering still a trace
OF violet vague and uignonette.
A ribbon dropped ON the carpet near.
Fy her own soft fingers its knot was tied:
Nc one has dared to enter here
Since the sudden, sorrowful day she died.
There On the table her open book,
Andthe blot of tear that seems scarcely dr1edi
The story, perhaps, has Eadder look,
Because size read it the day she died.
There her drawing but half complete:
And open yonder the song she tried:
In the Other Land will she sing it as sweet
A. she sung it bore on the day she died:
And here, ah mel On her writing case.
Her open ink and her paper spread,
With q few last words which herhand did trace:
Through the fall of my tears they can scarce be
read
A letter i, is and commenced to me;
Commenced to me on the day she died;
s'Wheu low, grows deathess III marry thee
In Paradise will ] gain my bride.

just as the hounds were drawn off. he
accused Purcell of driving away the fox.
The fellow paid no attentionsto him; he
was paying a lot Of laborers at the time,
This set Grindem wild, and he rode Up
to Purcell, and charged him again with
driving the fox away. Purcell said it
was untrue, and Grindem raised his
whip to strike him. Purcell advanced
q step towards him, when q fellow
named Dunphy made at Grindem with
